Suggestions & Ideas / [Suggestion] Pets and Horses
« on: 10 Apr 2018, 20:32:54 »
First suggestion;

Could the /pets perhaps get fixed, the pets are invisible, but I keep seeing people talk about them that they're interested in building a place and want a pet in it. I paid good ingame money etc and participated in contests to win unique ones I'd love to brag with as well (haha) but they're invisible so that's no use. I wanna run around town on my endermen :)

Second suggestion;

Players find out the horses despawn, but there's no information or easy interface for the /h command.

I don't even know if they can still buy horses, but when they ride a horse, it despawns,..

My suggestion is to perhaps spit out a msg there saying: You can't own this horse, try instead: /horse help

Hey everybody,

Enjoying your wild plots, but want to be part of a town? Well, our not public, and private town is now open for perhaps a short period of time to the outside world. New players, registered players, veterans, vip, and vip+, heck, even chatmods and moderators are more than welcome to join the town and find a plot.

But we're not like any other town. So I'd like to point a few things out.

We might be open, but not everything in town is 'unlocked'. The Spawn area for example is kept exclusive, but we're slowly changing this. The outposts are kinda private, except for the main one where we have the resident plots. So please go there to find an available plot.

Plots cost 5000, this means if you go to the town and don't have enough money that you might need to type: /vote, and get an extra 2500 that way. Just a pro tip.

We do only give single plots and on a very select basis we offer a double plot to a select few players. So be an active, friendly player, that can show a few of their builds to impress us, and we might give you additional plots.

About being part of town: If you get a temporary ban, we do /plot unclaim and/or kick you out of town. So please respect the town rules, but especially the server rules. We usually do not kick anybody out of town for being inactive. We don't want you to go on vacation and come back to a griefed plot or whatever (again, we are not like other towns). We tend to only unclaim your plot if we check your player profile and you've not connected to the server for nearly two years straight.

About what to build.

We are a cozy old fashioned town, we like wood cabins, nature-y like builds, and nothing that screams super modern builds made out of obsidian or straight up quartz mansions. So please check around the main outposts and you should get a pretty good idea as to what we like.

We have no problem with you making a tree farm or some sort of harvesting farm, but it should be part of your house build. We're not selling "farm plots", we're offering you a place to live. The same goes for mining. The server has a public big mining world that you can use to get all the resources you want. Mining down for diamonds in your plot isn't welcomed and so we dont allow querie.. quary? however you write that.. you know what i mean.. But yes, you can build up and build down. No big deal :)

We're super excited to break the rule of "we are a private town" since August 2012, and after 5+ years we've decided to just go public, open the town up and let people freely explore, look around, join it, go to our outpost and find a plot to live on. Bring a friend! Heck, bring ten..

Plots are 5000, if it's for sale it will say so. Have fun building, and we're looking forward hearing from you.

PLEASE NOTE: if you are supposed to get 1 plot, or you permission to get 2 plots, please do not go around buying other plots, because we will just plot unclaim the extra ones. You can always ask us first, but don't just go around claiming more than the plots you're allowed to get. Just so we're clear on that :)

Oh, we have a mailbox, if you're an active player and we notice your name multiple times per day, each month .. chances are little freebies might show up in your mailbox. Keep an eye on that.

Floris, are you guys looking for town assistants or anything like that? Hmmmmm..... going public is already a big deal for us, we have a tight crew and aren't really looking to expand that at this point.

MORE QUESTIONS? Great! This is a forum, if you can't catch me in game: ask it here :)

Your town sucks! Well, maybe don't join it and find another one :) OR .. OR!! Join it and claim a plot and show up how to make awesome builds and maybe that inspires others to do better as well? I mean, teamwork,.. right?

k, cu guys ingame :)

When we joined a few years ago the waterfall areas were gone within the first 30 minutes, it was hard to find an area for example that has the luscious green vs the more bleek cold that we have now. It's fine, we've build with it and love it.

But we're a few years down the road and I'd love to perhaps change some chunks here and there or an area to a different type. Maybe more cold so perhaps polar bears can spawn there. Or perhaps turn it into a summer theme finally with some luscious green with flowers etc. I know it won't magically put snow blocks down or change it to flowers everywhere, but the way the textures look will be colder or warmer, and the weather would be rain or if we change to a desert, no rain- or perhaps all snow instead of having chunks that for some reason only have rain despite that it's a snow all around it.

If we could perhaps use /gem to pay for a biome change, that would be cool.

Support / All my embassy plots?
« on: 5 Apr 2018, 18:46:36 »
I probably have 0 by now, with all the towns being renamed and dead, etc. I hardly remember any of the stuff from the start of v6 at this point.

So .. especially because of that, it would be nice to figure out if i however actually do have a plot ..

Is there a way to see what all my embassy plots around the towny world are?

30
Hey everybody,

I'd love to decorate a little more, but sometimes I really really wish I could enchant the items I put in item frames, etc.

I don't need them to have any abilities, but I'd love to get the glow from it.

It would be perhaps kinda awesome to buy a one time use voucher for say 10k through /gem
and when you use that on almost any not-yet-enchanted item, in an anvil, that you can enchant it to get that glow effect.


31
Hey larry,

I know it's possible to do this per chunk, but for example: if we have a place where we put spawners and allow people to use them for friends, it would be kinda nice if we could just toggle it on for all the wild plots, and just turn it off for all the wild ones again at a later time. Instead of per chunk.

Hey Larry, that's probably you :)

I hope that moving has gone well. Hopefully that means you will soon have a bit of time to come online to
-1785 / 69 / 6553 in the Wilderness and change the placed spawner to the Rabbit spawner. I'd really appreciate that.

Hope to hear from you soon, and thank you in advance.

Hey guys,

I got a plot with a chest that I can't break, kinda waited a week for someone with perms to unlock it to come online but keep missing them I guess.

Thanks!

Noobstown General / Double XP Event pays of twice today
« on: 1 Apr 2018, 14:16:54 »
Press that spacebar, jump in the water, fly around a mountain, or craft a bunch of stuff.

Double XP event today, but you can get more than you could ever before. You will get wrecking, macho and jumping skills, get those extra levels while you can.

If you want to know how to max out and get bonus points, maybe talk to Killjoy on how to be more efficient in some skills.

There are around 10 extra mcMMO skills you can get double xp on today, beyond the mining, shoveling, farming ones.

Hello community,

Polish up your shovels, pickaxes, and get rid of the splinters on the workbench. It's time to stretch those muscles and get ready to spend a day, a weekend, a week or two building in town x. Get your decoration chests and resources ready to be put to good use.

Town x is looking for creative builders who are familiar with a natural / middle earth style of building. Do you have experience with creating a nice and cozy looking hobbit hole? And have the time in April to build something awesome for us? Then you're certainly the person we're looking for.

There are currently 4 plots (See video) that I will put up as embassy plots. If we pick you for the job you can claim those as yours and you can get started.

You're free to terraform the environment to fit your creativity, and as any hobbit hole, build down into the ground I guess, with a nice above ground round door opening. Just use common sense. Perhaps get inspired by some existing designs on the server or google images, youtube etc.

You will make the builds on behalf of town x. They become our property so to speak. After the build is finished we're free to customize it, take it down, rebuild it, sell the plots to players who want to live there. So it seems logical to compensate you for your troubles. And so we will.

You will get some money to help you repair your items and cover the cost of some of your resources that you yourself will supply. And you will get some money for simply taking the time to build on the plots. But, since we're paying, I think it's fair to say it should be more than a dirt hut or a square house with a roof made out of 16 logs of wood.. you know what I mean.

We can offer you a 175,000 nbz to cover your time, your costs, resources, and to say thank you for the hard work in  April. (it would be nice if it is done before the end of April.

We're looking for a friendly and cozy looking place with a creative approach, decorations, and basically something that's clear some effort has been put into it. Please only reply to this thread if you have a bit more than the basics of the building know-how and experience. It's a plus if you've made hobbit holes before of course.

What about credits? I am like davinci and demand my swag .. ok stop.. don't worry. You're free to leave a sign locked to a block (that's not in the way if ppl would live there) with your name on it. What is ok : build made by yourName, from town whatever.. What is not ok: like these builds? join town whatever (no advertisements,. basically).

In February I made a thread with some additional information, in case you're looking for more hiring jobs (there will be, keep an eye on the forums). https://www.noobscraft.com/market/heads-up-town-x-hiring-builders-in-march/

Can I apply Floris?
Yes! Just reply to this thread.. and later today I will update the thread. Sometimes we will pick someone based on knowing how they build, or simply because they were the first to reply: Please do not take it personal if you don't get picked.

Can I build with my friends?
Sure, we pay you.. if you want your friends to help you or pay them to help you.. that's fine. Just know you're responsible: If they grief the plot, I will come hunt you both down.

Wait, I have to use my own resources?
Yep, I am not always online, and waiting for me to show up to give you a beacon for example is unrealistic. I hope instead of paying 50k, I pay at least tripple as much for this job to help compensate in costs/resources.

This is made for town x right, it will be like .. yours. When we're done?
Yep, you are simply helping us out adding some more things to our town.

What if I really like what I made, can I copy it to my own plot/wild/town?
If YOU made it, you are free to copy that. Yeah, I think that's more than fair.
If YOU did not make it, then we consider it stealing town designs. We play fair. <3

I went to the hobbit plots but couldn't claim any plots?!
Please wait for me to get online. That way we can guarantee the right person gets the plots.

https://youtu.be/10n3qSBj08s

Anyway. Thank you for reading this, get motivated, sharpen those tools and keep an eye on the forums, there will be a couple of threads per week(end) surely.

Questions? well, ... shoot!

Oh, don't forget to leave the custom terrain trees in place, vanilla trees are easier to remove/place back, but .. custom ones are prettier and harder to replace. Just kinda build around it, or embed it into the build :) i thought i'd point that out

36
Yep, you heard that right. I have some extra eggs and I'd like to help you complete your collection.

To get to the shop: /visit TheLynx74

This is a temporary shop where all 19 items that currently spawn are for sale: NOT CHEAP.

But why!? All the eggs are basically rare, the only way to get them is to play. They spawn around you as the announcement tells us, and you have to find them. If you wish to be eligible for the Admin Bonus at the end of the event, you must have all 19 items. And if you can't play due to work or school, or you just can't find the ones spawning around you.

Well, this shop offers that solution to all your easter egg problems. :p

Also, I don't really want to sell them, they're awesome items to decorate trees and builds with, it's hard for me to let them go.

Oh, and area is the perfect ground for easter eggs to spawn, to stick around if you want to go catch them.
Yeah right, does that really work? Yep, I got multiple complete sets since the announcement.

FAQ

Got any more easter eggs, the shop says it's out of stock?
Yeah, possibly. I am constantly collecting.

Can you please lower the price?
No sorry, a little mining session and you can afford one. I had to work hard for it too.

How about a trade then?
No, not really. But.. I guess it depends on what you have already. I'll take your 'blue' eggs :)

What if I want to buy more than one at a time, I want to buy 4 different eggs for example.
One: The full price.
Two: If they are the same: yes, you can get a discount. If they are two different ones: no, sorry.
Three or more of any: The same or not, if you buy three eggs at once, you can get a discount.

How to get a discount?
Don't buy them from the chest and then talk to me, I have no evidence that you bought them.
Message me instead, and we can take it from there.

Suggestions & Ideas / [Suggestion] Recipe book
« on: 25 Mar 2018, 12:31:36 »
I know, ppl will abuse it - i guess..

But can we please get it? It's the new noobs who wanna exploit that do it - not the vip+ people who have been here for years i guess.

I just have a huge auto sorter and wanna break a single chest, use the recipe book to move bricks into stairs, .. and place them in the next chest..

i got so much to craft, it's unrealistic at this point haha :) i do it on the go, but i rather spend an hour just using the recipe book and smart use of hoppers catching what i drop.

can i just spend 50k for 5 minutes of recipe book? that way you can perhaps log the activity and review it as well i guess

Suggestions & Ideas / [Suggestion] Towny additions
« on: 25 Mar 2018, 07:55:55 »
Sup sup world,

Towns are eh, too many, and they are, eh.. quite inactive, dead, deserted. Except a bunch.

- Wouldn't it be nice if the town is deserted and no active players come on to take it over, that we can perhaps request to turn it into an outpost?

Their old town spawn= a new outpost for us. Their old plots: the owner keeps it, just gets tagged as part of the 'new' town name.

Effectively adding the ability for us with admin permission after review to merge towns together so we end up with active towns and give players a chance to not get griefed, lose their items, etc.

Or just, because a couple of towns are small but wouldn't mind working together as one bigger town if they both have the same taste in building. Especially when we're already helping eachother but dont' want to abandon what we've worked on for years.

Another addition would be to perhaps have a limited creative-like options for a limited one hour a month or week, where we can use what we put in our inventory but we can kinda 'creative build' with it. It doesn't have to be the creative interface, but placing and breaking blocks would be at creative speed and just get added or removed from our inventory (if there's space) and with that one hour we can also have the ability to fly like in creative. Even if this is limited to the mayor of the town, or an assigned builder/assistant (just one person) that would mean we can do terious tasks a bit nicer, quicker, and make more progress with the towns so we can focus more on plot management and fine tuning our designs. Heck, i'd even buy this 'one hour once a month' for 500,000 once a month just to get a roof sorted out every so often.

Separate from the above .. the ability to fly in only your own town would help with plot management so much. just being able to 'get over there', would be nice, maybe not flying, but say a super bunny jump with a soft landing would already make going around a hill area a bit nicer. And why this is more important than say /j ? .. ppl can't get /j anymore .. But even more importantly; it gives overview. To fix this now, even with /j, i sometimes make a 50 high pile of dirt just to get an overlook of where i am. And boy does that help with planning. Having the ability to temp fly as assistant or assigned plot manager would really help figure out which way to go for the plots, or what is ahead of us.

Furthermore I'd like to have some additional features for towny, where we can give our residents more perks, or our assistants custom titles. if you are assistant in my town, and you are in the town region, and you have the title of 'farmer' or 'shop keeper', then people would know by just looking at you when the title is below your username above your head, or when they /player you, .. that you're the person to talk to. They can kinda feel involved and responsible for the farm plots in town. The mayor can say, besides generic help with residents, you're the go to person for building those farm plots, replanting, and what not. The same goes for shop plots, and let someone build a shopping area, a market, where others can have shops and there's this shop-keeper in town , an assistant with that title, who handles all that stuff. But having the title, the rank, or whatever, would really make somone feel more involved. If that makes sense.

A gui for town management, and plot management for town mayor, assistant and resident.. would be really nice.

Some additional option to toggle a plot with flags as 'disable common commands', so we can build parcour or gaming areas as well, but ppl can't use /j or /back etc, like tidal has in her town. It would be nice if we can achieve this as well.

RPG for towny, this would a nice feature to have. With this i mean the ability to have some towny stats that we can use for levelling or ranking.. Where it can track how many visits a town had, recent ppl that visited, perhaps if they have plots of all types , to unlock some stuff.. or perhaps have earned money through town shops, etc.

I also wouldn't mind if we can have a dedicated area for town mine.. so players can go to the /town x mine, and see a clearly designed 8x8 area or whatever with a pretty design, but only the blocks inside the border can be mined out. And on the first of the month this could reset .

The ability to set a couple of town warps, especially with outposts it is hard for residents to know where to start, where the shops are, the mine, the farm, etc.  It would be nice if we could /town x shops , /town x farms, ..

And finally, town alliance, if we're all part of a nation, it would be nice if we could both type a command like: /town alliance bobstown and the other goes /town alliance accept, and we get a 5 minute option to register a plot or outpost.. Imagine if we could build railroads in our nation between towns !! or have the plots connect up and work together with other towns. "oh boy"

i could go on, but i am sure these are enough things to get everybody excited or at least start a nice discussion about why we might not be interested in something. I hope things are being considered and help turn the user activity up

Thank you for reading and in advance for considering anything.

Suggestions & Ideas / [Suggestion] Additional RPG features
« on: 25 Mar 2018, 07:29:28 »
Hello hello team,

We love to play survival, and we love to level up on things like mcMMO to be a better miner, farmer, etc. But after playing since 2012, I have to say: I kinda wish there were more RPG possibilities.

When breeding and having animals, I wouldn't mind if that's a leveled system. From easy level 1, to harder level 25, for example. With 1 coming with no perky perks, but maybe level 25 we can pick the colors for our sheep..

Or if we're fighting mobs, bring back some of those mineapoc features back so we can have dumb level 1 angry mobs just kinda staring at up, but we might not get anything when we slay them with our sword, but level 25 might be a tough little ****** that requires certain enchants to even get killed.

Player levelling for starters to heroes. Where the more we play the better our character develops. This would be quite nice so we know who might be knights. We have veterans and vips, but those are donation ranks from back in the day and new players since the EULA change can't get any perks like that. Rewarding active players with a status to pick or level up to would be nice. I wouldn't mind markin myself as a knight if i pvp a lot, or a dwarf rank if i mine a lot, etc.

Talking about dwarfs and what not, what about just basic things like being a miner, a farmer, etc. We could have jobs, making extra money through the things we already do .. the more we build, the richer we get, something a builder can't get if they dont have time for mining. This means the more i work on my plots and chunks, the more money i have to buy more wild chunks and expand my empir.. i mean /home Jobs are a great way to be "the farmer" on the server, or "a shop keeper".

A miner could get abilities as well, not only would they allow to mine for archeology items that raaaarely drop, they might get a perk like 15s of nightvision very randomly.. just another example. Making mining more fun again. And we don't like that stuff? we can just not join that job.

Instead of the pets we have now, which don't do anything but 'look i got this one', i wouldn't mind a little companion that is hard to get and soul bound to me. It could die , but i can use /gem to revive it. I can feed it and keep it active to help it grow and level it up.

Certain things like a knight by the way, could have a unique magic spell or ability on their sword to increase chance of turning mobs into a mob head, or a mob upon death to drop their entity as a spawn egg.

Even if any of this is hard to obtain, or very low chance, .. it just adds to the gameplay, especially when you play for hours.

Talking about pve, pvp - we should be able to perhaps utilize this more. We had fun doing mob arena, but maybe to get more players on, - allow it, but only if there are ten players? this way ppl can't do it over and over or with their alt account. They need 5+ more players to start one. Having arenas for pvp where you get a kit and the reward gets mailed as a /gift, and you leave the arena you get your old inventory back.. then it's fair for all and a fun fight against mobs and/or players.

I never do quests, but many do - and many times over as well. Besides scoring 'yet another head' .. it would be nice if there's perhaps a leaderboard of people who played it and leveled up their quest?

For towny there's a whole load of other rpg suggestions when it comes to shop, embassy, assistants, etc to make it more fun to have an active town. But with so many questions i might just write a separate discussion for that.

I do not want to create an environment of 'i am the best miner, i am the best elf with bows and pvp', i want a fun gameplay experience where we can get together and play.. without being like 'ugh hold on, let me set up 15 plots as embassy and get back to you in 30m' and after 30m they are like 'ok, i gtg now, sorry' .. and you have to undo everything. The downside of a completely locked down world, is less gameplay together unless they are a friend of your plot/chunk.  Teaming up as a farmers, a party for mining, a group for levelling abilities.. and shop keepers for rare items, etc.. it would be nice RPG

I wouldn't mind mining to get a couple of old archeology artifacts, collect them, and finally after 6 months trade them against npc in various towns for unique tool or armour/weapon upgrades.

Suggestions & Ideas / [Suggestion] Seasonal World Resets
« on: 25 Mar 2018, 07:01:45 »
Sup staff,

The server activity just isn't that high, and as a result the monthly resets also do not happen - in a way that we can count on it - so I'd like to suggest to please reconsider this.

Those who do play actively wouldn't mind a mining base in the mining world, a city farm in the end city, and a proper fortress adventure in the nether world. But investing time in something wondering if it gets reset a month later isn't motivating one bit. I rather for example make a tiny grinder of say a few mobs in the mining world (and yes, i know we're not supposed to build there), but instead of just doing half the work thinking it's gone in a week, .. it would be nice kinda knowing it might be there for more than a month to use.

Could it, instead of monthly reset, which sometimes doesn't even happen, can we have seasonal resets maybe?

So reset the temp worlds if there's a new mc version we've upgraded to, or if there's a new season?

"hey guys, it's summer, the temp worlds have been reset, whooo"

This would motivate me much more to work on a city in the end for the resources, or play there with some ppl, or maybe go to the nether and do something with the ghasts and blazes, rather than hide below 1 block and aim and not return for weeks.. because i thought things would reset.

Thank you for reading this and for considering giving us more than a month so we can utilize the resources in those worlds a bit more.

Suggestions & Ideas / [suggestion] New /mineapoc command
« on: 25 Mar 2018, 06:56:51 »
Hey staff,

With the server merge a few years ago and people still joining this year, but not being too happy it's just survival and that things aren't the same as before on mineapoc, we get some annoying discussions from disappointed kids with attitude.

Would it perhaps be a suggestion to allow vip+ or whatever to use /mineapoc <player>, so they get a defaulted message like:
> Hey <player>, the Mineapoc server got merged into noobscraft a while ago, more info here: {url-to-info-thread}

That way we can also get away with saying: "sorry, that's all i know about it" :)

Thank you for reading this and perhaps taking it under consideration.

Hello community,

Polish up your shovels, pickaxes, and get rid of the splinters on the workbench. It's time to stretch those muscles and get ready to spend a day, a weekend, a week or two building in town x. Get your decoration chests and resources ready to be put to good use.

There are currently 8 plots (See video) that I will put up as embassy plots. If we pick you for the job you can claim those as yours and you can get started.

You're free to terraform the environment to fit your creativity, and as any hobbit hole, build down into the ground I guess, with a nice above ground round door opening. Just use common sense. Perhaps get inspired by some existing designs on the server or google images, youtube etc.

Yep, you are simply helping us out adding some more things to our town.

Hello community,

Polish up your shovels, pickaxes, and get rid of the splinters on the workbench. It's time to stretch those muscles and get ready to spend a day, a weekend, a week or two building in town x. Get your decoration chests and resources ready to be put to good use.

Town x is looking for experienced builders who are familiar with a natural / medievil (or rather, not a modern) style of building. Do you have experience with creating a nice and cozy looking fishing area / docking area on the shoreline and have the time in March to build something awesome for us? Then you're certainly the person we're looking for.

There are currently 9 plots (See video) that I will put up as embassy plots. If we pick you for the job you can claim those as yours and you can get started.

You're free to terraform the environment to fit your creativity, to build up or down a little bit if needed. Just use common sense.

You will make the builds on behalf of town x. They become our property so to speak. After the build is finished we're free to customize it, take it down, rebuild it, sell the plots to players who want to live there. So it seems logical to compensate you for your troubles. And so we will.

You will get some money to help you repair your items and cover the cost of some of your resources that you yourself will supply. And you will get some money for simply taking the time to build on the plots. But, since we're paying, I think it's fair to say it should be more than a dirt hut or a square house with a roof made out of 16 logs of wood.. you know what I mean.

We can offer you a quarter million nbz to cover your time, your costs, resources, and to say thank you for the hard work in March.

We're looking for a friendly and cozy looking place with a creative approach, decorations, and basically something that's clear some effort has been put into it. Please only reply to this thread if you have the building know-how and experience.

What about credits? I am like davinci and demand my swag .. ok stop.. don't worry. You're free to leave a sign locked to a block (that's not in the way if ppl would live there) with your name on it. What is ok : build made by yourName, from town whatever.. What is not ok: like these builds? join town whatever (no advertisements,. basically).

In February I made a thread with some additional information, in case you're looking for more hiring jobs (there will be, keep an eye on the forums). https://www.noobscraft.com/market/heads-up-town-x-hiring-builders-in-march/

Can I apply Floris?
Yes! Just reply to this thread.. and in a day (or so) I will update the thread. Sometimes we will pick someone based on knowing how they build, or simply because they were the first to reply: Please do not take it personal if you don't get picked.

Can I build with my friends?
Sure, we pay you.. if you want your friends to help you or pay them to help you.. that's fine. Just know you're responsible: If they grief the plot, I will come hunt you both down.

Wait, I have to use my own resources?
Yep, I am not always online, and waiting for me to show up to give you a beacon for example is unrealistic. I hope instead of paying 50k, I pay 4x as much for this job to help compensate in costs/resources.

This is made for town x right, it will be like .. yours. When we're done?
Yep, you are simply helping us out adding some more things to our town.

What if I really like what I made, can I copy it to my own plot/wild/town?
If YOU made it, you are free to copy that. Yeah, I think that's more than fair.
If YOU did not make it, then we consider it stealing town designs. We play fair. <3

I went to the fishing spot but couldn't claim any plots?!
Please wait for me to get online. That way we can guarantee the right person gets the plots.

A little heads up to polish up your shovels, pickaxes, and get rid of the splinters on the workbench. It's time to stretch those muscles and get ready to spend a day, a weekend, a week or two building in town x.

We understand you might be worse than others, we understand you might be better than others. That's all awesome. It creates variety. But please do apply (when the threads get posted) to the things you think you can actually make. <3

Of course! This isn't a charity event. But if you want to help out at no cost: Yay, you're welcome. But I understand that time is money and that you will make the builds on behalf of town x. They become our property so to speak. After the build is finished we're free to customize it, take it down, rebuild it, sell the plots to players who want to live there. So it seems logical to compensate you for your troubles. And so we will.

You will get some money to help you repair your items and cover the cost of some of your resources that you yourself will supply. And you will get some money for simply taking the time to build on the plots. But, since we're paying, I think it's fair to say it should be more than a dirt hut or a square house with a roof made out of 16 logs of wood.. you know what I mean.

What the plan is.. I will set up some embassy plots at certain locations and create a thread on the forums asking for builders. If you think you are interested then you can reply and if you (and one or more friends) want to build there in March, you get picked, paid, and given the freedom to have fun making something cool.

Anyway, that's the general idea, and with this headsup it also gives you the opportunity to ask questions etc.

Buildings range from natural-looking houses, medieval, japanese, hobbit holes, to little farm spots, maybe a completely designed fishing spot. What it very likely won't be are quartz modern builds, obsidian towers, square boxes, or stuff that stands out way way too much. That said though, if you have something in mind you can show visually I can always say 'nah, sorry, not that.. ' or 'omg yes pls!'

Yeah yeah, blah blah floris.. but tell me what can I earn!
Small single plots can start at 25,000, to bigger 6 or 8 plots with multiple levels of 250,000. It differs per thread.

Can I build for 'chunk of the month'? If the Larry has a competition running and the theme matches what I am asking for, I don't see why not. I guess.

What if I like what I made and want to keep it? You're always free to join town x and become a resident and get the plots in question for free. But what if it's an embassy plot? Can't we just do that? Well, .. you're making something on behalf of our town, so in that case you're just building for yourself: not sure why I'd pay for that. Maybe wait then until after March and we can pick some embassy plots for you.

Each time you make a thread, can I take all the jobs? Yes, you can apply to all the threads I make and you can do more than one hiring job.. Who knows, if you're the only one you can end up with a million extra noobz and some awesome gameplay.

What about credits? I am like davinci and demand my swag .. ok stop.. don't worry. You're free to leave a sign locked to a block (that's not in the way if ppl would live there) with your name on it. What is ok : build made by yourName, from town whatever.. What is not ok: like these builds? join town whatever (no advertisements,. basically).

Floris, I don't even know you.. can you even afford this?
Yeah. Don't worry about that.

Anyway. Thank you for reading this, get motivated, sharpen those tools and keep an eye on the forums, there will be a couple of threads per week(end) surely.

Suggestions & Ideas / Armour Stands plugin for Posing
« on: 10 Nov 2016, 05:43:03 »
Would be awesome to have something like /wild unit, but for /stand pose
So we could have an armour stand using pre-set of a few poses.
Maybe a plugin could assist in this.

Looking at the unit, then type: /stand pose [1,2,3,4]
1- default
2- small
3- arms/noarms toggler
4- fight
5- ...

If an option to hold a sword, shield, etc is possible, perhaps it could use what you're holding in your hand, or have available in your inventory to populate it.

Breaking the armour stand should just drop the items and forget that unit.

Suggestions & Ideas / '/t outpost' alias suggestion
« on: 6 Nov 2016, 09:32:19 »
It would be cool to make an outpost called shop, and farm and grinder, etc.
And have /t shop work, rather than /t outpost shop

Support / The signs lag so much
« on: 6 Nov 2016, 09:19:04 »
Having a shop in town is great, having an auto sorter is great.
And since I wouldn't mind turning my 512 items auto sorter into a public shop for everybody to use with /visit mrfloris,
I wouldn't mind putting signs on the chests of the items people ask about and over time update the rest too.

But 512 shop signs and the lag will increase to a point where it's not fun anymore.

Anything noobstown could perhaps do to replace or add another type of shop to the server that could be like ChestShop but without the signs?

Kinda wish we could use LWC and set the type of chest to ShopChest for example,
that way when anybody but the owner opens the chest (or anybody on the cmodify list) it would show a market value of that item, clicking it twice would buy that item(s).

I really do not want to place 512 signs and find out i get 5fps.

Suggestions & Ideas / 1.10.x upgrade?
« on: 6 Nov 2016, 09:13:34 »
It's a new season, and 1.11 might be around the corner at some point, but it wouldn't be a bad thing to get 1.10 support if possible.

I wouldn't mind having polar bear spawner? is that a thing? Or one as a pet.

There are a few new blocks (void, bone, nether, etc), would be fun to try building with those.

Will we see NT on 1.10, (it's been a while, it's fair to ask), or are skipping to 1.11 perhaps?

Suggestions & Ideas / Additions to 'noobstowny' feature
« on: 6 Nov 2016, 08:44:13 »
Hey Larry,

A few things I'd love to see personally, and I hope many others do as well. And since we're on our own noobsTowny version of Towny, maybe it's possible now.

rules, and a few more default options
If I am new and shopping around for a town, I wouldn't mind figuring out what the basic (or extended) town rules are. Exploring the town and finding signs (and it being different (and usually incomplete/outdated) in every town is time consuming. However, I would not mind if I get a quick overview of the FAQ, or a link to the forums when doing /t <name> or  /t <rules>

Just how it currently says :open[no], :public[no], it could have, :farm[yes], :plot_farm[no], :grinder[yes], :plot_grinder[no],  :mine_down[no], :min_plots[1], :max_plots[3], :staff_positions_open[0], :guests[no], :max_build_height[100], :rules_url[" noobs.town/town/x/rules " ], :plots_location["/t outpost plots"], :plots_resale[no]

how it visually looks, not up to me.

bit of extra info of each bit:
:farm[yes], This town does not have a farm for residents
:plot_farm[no], This town does not allow you to have a farm on your plot
:grinder[yes], This town has a grinder for residents
:plot_grinder[no], This town does not allow you to have a mob grinder on your plot
:mine_down[no], Mining down is not allowed, building down is allowed (basement, farm, storage)
:min_plots[1], You can have at least 1 plot
:max_plots[3], You may have up to a maximum of 3 plots
:staff_positions_open[0], There are 0 staff positions available for this town right now.
:guests[no], This town does not take guests as residents, please register to be a member first.
:max_build_height[100], Your plot builds can not exceed more than 100 blocks from ground level.
:rules_url[" noobs.town/town/x/rules " ], extended post on the forums with all the town rules, ask questions here
:plots_location["/t outpost plots"], Available resident plots can be found here (t spawn, t outpost x,y,z)
:plots_resale[no], You can not resale your plot, if you leave, plot sale gets reset to town default, money of sale goes to town.

our town is called "x", so doing /t x info or /t x full, might spit that out.

Also, could we please prevent permission abuse on plots, when someone leaves their plot? If a resident parts with the town, gets kicked out, or otherwise loses ownership of their plot, could it reset to the town default settings, and plot price?
I'd love to be able to set this somewhere, so we don't give away a free plot, and they leave, setting it to some price and cash in on that. It's extra work, not needed (in my opinion) and it would also prevent others in town from buying the plot when they weren't supposed to, just to grief the resources on it and cause drama.

/t set plotdefault on (uses the below settings, otherwise ignores it, meaning these override whatever)
/t set plotdefault nfs (forces it to be set to: not for sale, so others can't buy it)
/t set plotdefault price (x nbz, force is to x noobs, in case nfs is set to fs in above setting, defaulting to this price here, money goes to town bank when purchased)
/t set plotdefault canbuild off (forces permissions so nobody can build on the plot, until it gets owned by someone else, avoid griefing)
/t set plotdefault candestroy off (forces perms so nobody can destroy, until it gets owned by someone else, avoid griefing)

I hope I am making a bit of sense.

i hate being away for a week, coming back and someone has ruined a plot because some player left town, it was for sale and someone who wasn't allowed to buy more plots got it anyway and started building on it.

Suggestions & Ideas / One '/event' information command
« on: 6 Nov 2016, 08:16:32 »
Knowing there is one command to cover, /adventure, /quest, /boss, /pvpbattle, /noobween, /news, /etc... woudl be cool

* Upcoming: New season, new mining world coming soon.
* Upcoming: Noobmas advent, get ready to collect for Christmas
